Everybody knows the famous Hoover story - how back in the '60s, Hoover was a premium brand in the USA, but regarded as "cheap'n'cheerful" across large parts of Europe.

Hoover learned the lesson and made sure their brand was properly positioned internationally, but plenty of other companies are still characterised by inconsistent brand values across their different target markets.

If you're not sure whether your (or your client's) brand is being represented abroad as effectively as you would like, you can ask us to give you a preliminary idea of how your brand is positioned in a given marketplace. We'll produce a careful, objective report based on a small sample of intelligent responses.

That way, you can decide whether you need to spend more on a full-scale market research exercise.
